Item directory
Dog tags
Hold up guards and make them surrender their tags. Tags are associated with difficulty and chapter, so track Tanker and Plant progress separately.
Gadgets and weapons
Cardboard Box (BOX) Equip it and move around under a cardboard box. There are many different types of boxes.
Bonus equipment
Tag rewards are longer-term unlock goals. Consult the reward requirements for your edition and avoid confusing original-game unlocks with Master Collection achievements.
Quick notes
- Dog tags are a conditions-based collection. Dog tags come from particular guards under the appropriate hold-up conditions rather than appearing as loose objects in every room.
- Separate training extras from the campaign. Sons of Liberty’s campaign collection and Substance’s additional challenges have different scopes.
